the irs would hit any partners you use to transfer funds very quickly with deep audits at the very minimum if this gets even a little traction, i'd think

The goal is to get shut down. Best case, you draw enough attention to the issue to create some real reform in our tax system and bring awareness to the fact that we're hurting innovation by giving big companies far better tax rates than startups.
I'm not trying to be "provocative", but do you have any examples of this ever happening? And by that I mean any examples where a company has purposefully broken a law, was shut down and then laws were changed as a direct result? I've seen it happen the other way (technically no laws against it, shut the company down anyway then passed laws against it) but what you're proposing sounds improbable.
